I can see where he's coming from, but there are MANY cuts & colours for jeans. The fact is places that impose a dress code these days are all 'smart casual' and you'll find that denim is acceptable (minus the ripped denim), so you'll never ever bring it down. What he should be disagreeing with is the alarming stereotype seen these days in which teenagers and 'skater boys' &c. wear jeans that are hanging halfway down their thighs with the rap style stitching and random metal hanging off everywhere. I'll echo the call of every generation 'STUPID TEENAGERS'.
